We describe a "highly-performance" liquid chromatographic method in which 8-chlorotheophylline is used as an internal standard to determine acetaminophen and salicylate simultaneously in plasma samples. Therapeutic as well as toxic concentrations can be determined on samples as small as 50 micro L, which makes the method particularly useful for determinations on samples from young children. The procedure requires a simple extraction of the drugs, and the chromatography is completed in 6 min.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
